Process to read a new file entry and execute a command
I need to develop a process/daemon which will constantly monitor a file for new entry and execute a command.

for eg, there is a file /var/log/inotify.log

When a new entry like below gets appeneded to this file, execute the command as follows.
Code:
/home/user/public_html/bad.php|CREATE

Command to execute

Code:
clamdscan --log=/var/log/clamav.log --move=/usr/src/clamav_quarantine $var

$var should be /home/user/public_html/bad.php

idea is to scan all newly created files using clamscan
